Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"That's enough, Umbridge." Bones reminded displeasedly: "What we are hearing in this court now is the case about Mr. Thomas - if you have any doubts about the cases that Severus Snape has closed in the past, If you have any doubts, you can file a complaint with the Wizengamot at any time."

"Okay, I will write my opinions into the trial report." Seeing that Kingsley also remained silent and did not support her, Umbridge wisely chose to give in.

"Then let's continue with the case of Mr. Dean Thomas for violating the Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards Act." Bones cleared his throat and said to Dean: "Now the charges."

Bones turned the page of the document in his hand and read aloud: "The defendant is charged with the following crimes: The defendant, fully aware that his actions were illegal, committed a crime in a Muggle house at 12:23 pm on December 43. In the residential area, the Legilimency Charm was cast in front of a Muggle. This act violated the third paragraph of the "Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards Act" promulgated in 13 and the International Federation of Magician Confidentiality. Law No. [-]."

Bones looked at Dean through his monocle: "You are Dean Thomas who lives at 58 Gibbins Road, Newham, right?"

"Yes," Dean replied.

"You know that you are under 17 and are not allowed to use magic outside of school?"

"I know."

"You were fully aware that there was a Muggle nearby."

"I know, that's my mother."

"That doesn't change the fact that she is a Muggle." Umbridge reminded harshly.

"Thank you, Umbridge, I think I am the chief judge." Bones was very dissatisfied with Umbridge's behavior of taking the spotlight.

"Okay, Amelia." Umbridge smiled so sweetly that it made Dean sick.

"So you admit to using the Legilimency spell on your mother?" Bones said with a hint of disgust in his voice.

"No, I haven't. If you've checked my wand, you'll know that I haven't used any spells since leaving Hogwarts." Dean said, turning his attention to Kingsley.

"Shacklebolt, do you have anything to add?" Bones also looked at Kingsley.

"I'm afraid Mr. Thomas is right." Kingsley said in a low voice. "On the night of the incident, I rushed to the scene as soon as possible and confiscated Mr. Thomas's wand. After inspection by my colleagues and I, we found that The last recorded use of the wand was on the evening of December 12, the day before the defendant left Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the last spell cast was the Levitation Charm."

"But the report I received is that at the time of the incident, someone was indeed casting magic spells nearby. According to our investigation, Mr. Thomas was the only wizard there at the time." Bones said while flipping through the documents.

Dean could tell that her tone had become much more fair and less full of disgust than before.

"Yeah." Umbridge coughed deliberately next to her, attracting everyone's attention.

"Umbridge, what do you want to ask?" Bones had to turn his attention to Umbridge.

"I heard an interesting rumor." Umbridge said with a fake smile, "Among the freshmen at Hogwarts this year, there is a natural mind-catcher, it seems that he is Mr. Dean Thomas."

Umbridge glanced proudly at Snape's face that suddenly turned livid: "We all know that for a natural master of mind, you can easily use Legilimency without a wand."

"Umbridge, even if they are born soul masters, they may not be able to do this when they reach adulthood. As far as I know, among the people known so far, the only one who can do this is the mysterious man Black. "Snape stood up and stared at Umbridge.

Dean's heart was broken at this time. He was not a natural soul master at all, but others obviously didn't think so.

When he heard that Dean was a natural soul master, Bones's eyes flashed obviously. After Snape finished speaking, he asked Umbridge: "Umbridge, your Is the news reliable? You should know how rare it is to be a born soul master."

"I have a powerful witness." Umbridge said with a smirk, "Please allow that witness to come to court."

"I agree." Bones nodded.

Umbridge shook her wand, and a Cat Patronus was summoned by her. It jumped out of the room. A moment later, there was a short knock on the door.

"Please come in."

After Bones finished speaking, Umbridge stood up and said with a smile: "Please allow me to introduce my witness: Mundungus Fletcher!"

The expression on Dean's face was startled. Didn't Mundungus go to Germany to buy a wand from Gregovich?How could he be Umbridge's witness?

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a wretched appearance walked in from the door. Even if he turned into gray, Dean could recognize him as Mundungus.

Mundungus looked a little bruised and swollen, and looked very frightened. After he entered the door, he looked at Umbridge in fear, as if he turned a blind eye to the others.

"I protest." Snape looked at Mundungus deeply and then said to Bones: "Bones, we all know what kind of person Mundungus is. I think such a profiteer , is not sufficient as testimony.”

"On the contrary." Umbridge immediately said tit for tat: "I caught Mundungus not long ago when he was about to sneak into Germany. In order to obtain immunity, he agreed to testify for me. Amelia, You should know that in this situation he would not dare to lie at all, otherwise he would be aggravated and be immediately sent to Azkaban to receive the Dementor's Kiss."

Bones frowned and thought for a while. She obviously disagreed with Umbridge's approach, but Umbridge was right about one thing. In this case, Mundungus's testimony was absolutely reliable.

"I agree with Mundungus Fletcher testifying," Bones agreed reluctantly.

"Great, Amelia, I know you are a fair person." After Umbridge gave a sweet compliment, she said to Mundungus, "Mundungus, can you prove that Dean ·Is Mr. Thomas a natural spiritual master?"

Mundungus glanced at Dean fearfully, nodded and said, "I can prove it."

Dean's mind went blank at this moment. Isn't Mundungus afraid of breaking his unbreakable oath by doing this?It was obvious that he was prepared. Could it be... A sudden flash occurred in Dean's mind. The unbreakable oath he signed with Mundungs ​​did not include that Mundungs ​​could not threaten or harm Dean, so as long as Mundungs Gus didn't "get in the way" of Dean, and there was nothing to worry about when he did.

He was still too young, and Mundungus actually took advantage of him.

Dean was filled with regret.

At this time, Umbridge's malicious question came to her ears again: "...So Mundungus, where did you get this news? Is it reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable, because this message comes from Severus Snape!" Mundungus almost collapsed under Snape's gaze.
